“Abigail was fantastic! We were out of town for a few days and she took great care of our pets and home. She kept us updated and clearly paid attention to our animals. One thing I especially appreciated was that she took the time to let me know about a small behavior she noticed with our cat, Salem. It wasn't a big deal, but it showed me that she was paying attention and genuinely cared. We came home to happy pets and no potty accidents from our cat. We would absolutely use Abigail again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“We are so thankful to Kaitlyn for checking in on our 4-month-old puppy! She was so easy to communicate with, kept us updated, and sent us amazing photos of our boy! We would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter!”
“Joanna was great! We had a last minute booking and she was able to help out. She came over to do a walk through ahead of time and was very patient with our senior girl who takes a while to warm up to new people. We’d absolutely recommend her and book her again!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for friends and family for the past two years, providing reliable and loving care for both dogs and cats of all ages. I genuinely enjoy spending time with the animals and have always been able to build strong trusting relationships with them. What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and commitment to maintaining each pets routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and I take the time to get to know their individual needs throughout my pet and experience. I’ve had no issues or problems and have consistently provided safe dependable care that owners can trust. I work a part time job at a coffee shop so I have plenty of time to play and care for your pups or kitties! I make time each day for feeding, walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need. Over the past two years I’ve cared for dogs and cats for friends and family so I’m comfortable managing different schedules, energy levels and personalities. I enjoy spending time with animals and can easily incorporate pet care into my weekly routine while ensuring each pet receives reliable attentive care. I follow each pets normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. I ensure the home remains secure and that the pets are always supervised and safe. I love building trust with both pets and their owners. It is very important to me so I provide reliable care, clear communication, and give regular updates. My goal is to create a calm familiar environment where pets feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners our way.
About: I have six years of experience and have work for multiple kennels. I know how to do daily routines and how to distribute medications. I give a lot of my attention to detail and make sure the pets have the best care. I actually work for a veterinary clinic at this time. Also, I care for my family member's pets on the weekends, when I have time. I normally care for any pet I have in my care in their own homes. I have in the past stayed overnight in my clients' homes.
About: I have a degree in veterinary technology and used to work in clinics and veterinary ER. I personally have three dogs, three guinea pigs a bearded dragon and am fostering a kitten. I take the care of animals to heart and cater my approach to each of their personalities. I can perform CPR if needed and am able to administer medications and help with any specialized needs. I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all ages and can meet their needs. I also can manage exotic animals. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask! I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I keep my dogs on somewhat of a routine as I have semi high energy breeds. Though we do lounge around at home when they’re feeling lazy. I treat all animals with the highest level of care whether it is my own pet or someone else’s. I have my eyes on the pets at all times both inside and outside of the home. I worked in the veterinary field through college and retired in 2024. All that knowledge stays with me and I continue to stay up to date on animal care. You will get regular photo updates of your babies during my drop in’s and/or boarding.

“Hannah was amazing! She took fantastic care of my 2 girls (cats) and sent me tons of pictures and videos. She was super fast to reply and let me know exactly what was going on and answered all my questions. She even helped by bringing in our mail. She’s a very nice person and trustworthy. I will definitely book her again in the future when I go on my next vacation ☺️”
“Excellent experience with Taylor and would definitely book again. She was conscientious, highly communicative (even with a significant time zone difference) and left the house spotless. I have a Litter Robot that can be a bit finicky and she took the extra time to troubleshoot. I loved that she played with my house tigers and sent me lots of photos and updates.”

“Loved having Leah again so soon after the first time! Super helpful and she went above and beyond helping my stress levels. Stella loves having her stop by for food, care, and pets.”
“Haley provided excellent service over six drop-in’s one weekend for my 3 dogs. She was on time for every one, did exactly what we discussed, and shared timely and effective communication. I will definitely feel comfortable having Haley care for my dogs again.”

I work between 7am and 3pm, so any time afternoons and weekends I’m available to help out! Let me know what works best for you! I live in a nice apartment building that has a lot of room for walk if needed. My cats do well with other pets too!
“Anna is a wonderful pet sitter. She did afternoon walks and in house overnight care for our goldendoodle. She connected with our dog right away. Anna is knowledgeable about dog behavior and you can see her passion from day one. Our dog is anxious when meeting new people. Anna was very sensitive to her needs and made her feel comfortable. Anna asked lots of questions and went above and beyond in caring for Kona’s every need. Anna took Kona on walks, played fetch, provided mental stimulation and provided lots of neck and ear rubs. She was excellent in keeping us updated on how Kona was doing. When we’ve left Kona in the past she typically eats and drinks much less. Kona was eating and drinking and very comfortable with Anna. We feel incredibly blessed to have found Anna to care for Kona. I can’t say enough positive things about her. I 100% recommend her to care for your pup!!!”
“Sara has been great with my corgi, Cersei! She is always on time and has been incredibly flexible with my schedule. She is also very considerate with Cersei and accommodating to her needs for the past few months and Cersei loves her. She will continue to be my go-to whenever I need someone to help with Cersei.”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Byron
Isabel was a Rover to my outdoor cats. She was professional, timely, and kept me up-to-date with the characters who came to eat. During her initial visit to review the assignment, she arrived on-time and asked great questions. The cats acclimated to her within a day. I would recommend Isabel and will book her in the future to take care of the cats.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
